Summary: But you would have lost its MACness!

Its a hard call to make, but if the Mac had been open in the beginning, would
it have retained its essence?  Multibus boards were made by OEMs for system
integrators, not end users.  Multibus boards are large and potentially would
intimidate the users, as well as make the systems larger (definitely not Mac).
Granted, I was no friend or supporter of Apples until they chose to survive
by removing Steve Jobs, but the original vision of the Mac as the "computer for
the rest of the world" was an important one to establish.  Now it can expand.
